>> well, if you listen to the romney campaign and to governor romney himself, he seems to have a more marshal approach to international affairs. he seems to think that maybe by leading with military force, by being more bold on the international stage, america can be defended ber. but i think that governor romney has not been able to articulate a compelling vision of how he would actually strengthen america. he's been vague about when he would get us out of afghanistan. i think frankly he has not really spoken very clearly about how he really differs from president obama on iran. i suspect their two positions are fairly close actually. >> ifill: on the same point, richard haas? >> i actually think there is a difference on iran. the president is clearly saying that iran cannot be allowed to have a nuclear weapon. governor romney has been stricter that they can't be allowed any enriched material and clearly he wants to stop iran somewhere short of a nuke already weapon. i think again that's going to be part of the debate. what is it we can tolerate? can i make another point for a second

host: how about mitt romney? can you assess from which you have heard, seen, and written over the months? anything close to where you might call a mitt romney doctrine? how would you encapsulate it? guest:obviously governor romney is a smart and successful person. he has been out talking about foreign policy, though i get the sense that is not the issue he wants to emphasize in this campaign. he obviously wanted to be about our unemployment rate. it is an unusual position for a republican to be in, running against a democrat with a strong position on national security. i have worked for republicans and democrats in various administrations. i am not a political person, but it seems to me the republicans always try to run to the right of the democrats, but in this election you have president obama, who has taken us out of iraq, who has waged a very tough war against al qaeda and gone after that leadership, as well as osama bin laden, who has taken out the terrorists in yemen. president obama, i think because of his

host: how about mitt romney? can you assess from what you have heard and hear him write these past few months? is there a romney doctrine on foreign policy? how would you encapsulate it? guest: i don't know if there is a romney doctrine yet. governor romney is a very smart, successful person. my guess is that it is not the issue he wants to emphasize in the campaign. once the campaign to be about the economy and the unemployment rate. it is a difficult position for a republican to be running against a democrat who has a strong record on national security. that has been difficult for the romney campaign. i worked for republicans and democrats in various administrations, so i am not a political person. but it seems to me that republicans always try to run to the right of the democrats, and sometimes accused democrats of being weak on a national security. in this election you have president obama, who has taken us out of iraq, president obama who has waged a very tough war against al qaeda, has gone after the al qae

i do not trust that romney. -- mitt romney. he will put us in two wars. host: batten rouge, louisiana. caller: good morning. as far as not trusting it romney, they have had three years of this thing we have got now. it is unbelievable that anyone, anyone would support not only his foreign-policy, but his domestic policy, which is totally bankrupting this country. it is a shame. people cannot defeat the united states military, but years and years ago they said that they wouldn't come at us economically. that is exactly, exactly what is being done now. it is a crying shame, but it may be too late. host: one more message from twitter this morning -- host: on our facebook page -- host: here is mitt romney speaking in new york city about iran. [video clip] >> we cannot forget that not far from here a voice of unspeakable evil and hatred has spoken out, threatening israel and the entire civilized world. we come together knowing that the bitterness of hate is no match for the strength of love. in the weeks ahead, i will continue to speak to these challenges and
